Story Behind The Song
The desert has a place in my heart, true love, though never lived there, only visits to family. "Desert Wind" takes me there, to the stunning beauty and mystery. The leading lady is me.
Song Description
She is haunted by the audible, reminded of past negative relationships and experiences. She feels the beautiful desert is able to change its "tune" to a sweeter sound so she can sleep, when it is really in her own mind.

Lyrics
Desert Wind
You begin to stir sundown on the mesa
saguaro stand strong and their shadows run away . I
hear you at my window but my wounds are on the mend, so
take ol' tumbleweed somewhere else to play . I try
not to listen, I don't wanna go back in time where outlaws and
monsters live dust devils blow my mind.
Desert Wind your spooky howl and cry
Desert Wind rule the purple sky
Voices paint the dark, I can't close my eyes
Desert Wind won't you play for me
Desert Wind a sleepy melody
timeless, of love so true and tenderly, so
I can sleep. I need sweet dreams tonight Desert
Wind
whisper, through the palo verde, the
ocotillo gently sway,
brush my face with your kisses I'll
dream a way, I'll dream away. I try
not to listen, I don't wanna go back in time where outlaws and
monsters live, dust devils blow my mind.
Desert Wind your spooky howl and cry
Desert Wind rule the purple sky
Voices paint the dark, I can't close my eyes
Desert Wind won't you play for me
Desert Wind a sleepy melody
timeless, of love so true and tenderly, so
I can sleep. I need sweet dreams tonight Desert
Wind
